Arizona Western College - Career/Occupational and Transfer Degrees

General Education Learning:

Through general education, AWC encourages students to pursue wholeness in learning by providing a curriculum that focuses intensely on values and meaning, knowledge and understanding, imagination and creativity, reasoning and judgment, consciousness, and existence.

GE= Composition + Mathematics + Arts and/or Humanities + Social & Behavioral Science + Physical/Biological Science + Additional Courses

Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is the community colleges and universities (NAU, UA, ASU) agreed upon common structure for a transfer general education curriculum. This curriculum provides students attending any Arizona community college with the opportunity to build a general education curriculum that is transferable upon completion without loss of credit. Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) block is embedded into all AWC transfer degrees (AA, AS, ABus) .

? AGEC-A (Arts) which is a part of the AA degree and is for students majoring in the arts, humanities, or social and behavioral sciences ? AGEC-B (Business) which is a part of the ABus degree and is for students majoring in business ? AGEC-S (Science) which is a part of the AS degree and is for students majoring in the sciences or in the health related professions

Each AGEC is at least a 35 credit lower division general education curriculum block that fulfills the lower division general education requirements. A minimum of a "C" grade and a minimum 2.0 GPA is required for all courses in the AGEC and AWC degree.

# Recommended Lower-Division (Freshmen/Sophomore) Major Preparation Courses: For students planning to transfer into a bachelor's degree program, it is never too early to begin planning for a smooth transfer to another institution. Students should consult with an academic advisor and/or check for information regarding the best possible recommended lower-division preparation for a student's intended bachelor's degree. Students should complete these courses as a part of their associate's degree.

Students following this degree program will complete 35+ credits of general education (AGEC-A) that will fulfill all lower division general education requirements at the Arizona universities (ASU, UA, NAU) and additional courses for a total of 60+ credits needed for the AA degree. Students who decide on a major should consult the list of common lower-division major courses for their chosen major. And, the student who has selected a four year college of intended transfer should also consult the catalog or website of that college for added guidance regarding additional major and elective courses. Up-to-date information regarding requirements of various degree programs at Arizona's universities can be found at (majors & degrees).

Associate of Science degree is primarily designed to provide the first two years of coursework to prepare students for transfer into a related upper division baccalaureate degree program and is the appropriate degree plan for students who major in fields with heavy requirements in mathematics and science. The Associate of Science degree is intended for students specializing in engineering, engineering technology, industrial technology, agriculture, health professions, mathematics, or science. Students should consult the list of common lower-division major courses for their chosen major found at (majors & degrees).

(ABus) Associate of Business degree is primarily designed to provide the first two years of coursework to prepare students for transfer into a related upper division baccalaureate degree programs in the Business field.
